After escaping Russian energy dependence, Europe is locking itself in
to US LNG

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=234262&nl=daily
her State of the European Union address to the European Parliament
last week, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen got an earful
from MEPs angry about her “surrender deal” with Donald Trump.
Iratxe Garcia Perez, leader of the centre-left S&D group, blasted von
der Leyen’s hypocrisy in calling for Europe to have courage and
fight when she herself showed no courage with Trump. "You went to
Scotland to bury Europe's strategic autonomy under a golf course,”
she told her.

Green group leader Bas Eickhout questioned how she could say in her
speech she still cares deeply about climate change, even as she and
her EPP group have spent the first ten months of her second term
dismantling some of the climate legislation she passed in her first
term. “You said we need to be energy independent, but at the same
time you sign a Trump deal that promises a $750 billion investment in
American [LNG] energy that is dirtier than what we had before. That to
replace the Russian LNG gas that is only $10 billion per year for now.
These numbers don’t add up…We should invest this money in European
renewables and European industry, because renewables are the worst
enemy of fossil autocrats.”
